Oh, oh, oh, I remember when we were kids

We shared all the hurt and tears

No matter what the weather

We were always together

Then we grew up and time went on

We became separated

When I went off to school

My sweet Toby waited

I went off to school

My sweet Toby waited

Was a sad day

When Toby went away

Was a sad day

When Toby went away

Sad day

Toby went away

Sad day

Toby went away

I came home from spring vacation

Expected to find my Toby waiting

Called her on her private phone

She didn't answer, something was wrong

I ran all the way to her house

Rang her bell

Her mother answered and told me

To come and sit a spell

I sat down to try to be prepared

For what she'd say

And what she said brought tears to my eyes

I couldn't push away

Toby left on a cloudy

Rainy day

She went to sing with angels

Toby's gone away

It was a sad day

Oh, ho, Toby went away

It was a sad day

When Toby went away

It was a sad day

Oh, ho, when Toby went away

It was a sad day

When Toby went away

Was a sad day

When Toby went away

Was a sad day

When Toby went away
